Smoked ham is commonly eaten in Sweden. However, smoked ham consists of a lot of salt (NaCl) which is an important component in the brine. Since a high salt consumption increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, it is of great interest to decrease salt and other sodium-binding compounds in various food products, especially in smoked ham. Nevertheless, this is a challenge because the salt and o
Since the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the system of fixed exchange rates amongst principal industrial countries, in the early 1970s, a new era began, introducing the floating exchange rate regime. Since the inception of the floating rate regime, the general interest in forecasting exchange rate movements has grown considerably. Yet, forecasting the exchange rate is extremely difficult, a
The industrial sector of Sweden used 136 TWh of energy 2022 out of which the agricultural sector used 6.09 TWh. The goal of the country is to become 50% more energy efficient by 2030 compared to 2005. Furthermore, Sweden’s long-term target is to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. From 2005-2022 the total energy use of the agricultural sector has been reduced by 16% but previous stu
Popular Abstract in Swedish Byggnadsprestanda – Metoder för förbättrad prediktering och verifiering av energianvändning och inneklimat Hans Bagge, Byggnadsfysik LTH Introduktion För att kunna minska utsläpp av växthusgaser och rädda klimatet på jorden är det av yttersta vikt att vi kan bygga byggnader med låg energianvändning och bra inneklimat. Byggnader står i dagsläget för mellan 30 och 40 %Reducing CO2 emissions is one of the most important goals in Europe as well as the rest of the world. To reach that goal, the use of energy must be reduced. Thus, the building industry is facing a great challenge. Not only energy efficiency but also sustainability is desirable in the building stock. This thesis presents and suggests methods that can be used to improve prediction and verification o
The design and fabrication of a home-made thin-layer electrochemical flow cell are reported. The performance and electrochemical characteristics of thin-layer cells are evaluated in terms of flow rate and channel thickness. The adaptability of the flow cell for amperometric and electrochemiluminescence measurements is demonstrated. Also, a flow injection method comprising electrochemical generatio
Background: While simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF) is considered to be a promising process for bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials to ethanol, there are still relatively little demo-plant data and operating experiences reported in the literature. In the current work, we designed a SSCF process and scaled up from lab to demo scale reaching 4% (w/v) ethanol using xylos
Partially Premixed Combustion is a concept able to combine low smoke and NOx emissions with high combustion controllability and efficiency. It is of interest to be able to utilize PPC in a large operating region in order to meet the Euro VI emission legislation without relying on NOx aftertreatment. This paper investigates the differences in PPC characteristics for three fuels; Diesel Swedish Mk
Nordiska nätverket för narrativ medicin anordnar nätverksmöten i form av konferenser och skickar ut nyhetsbrev till medlemmarna 4-5 gånger per år. Drygt 170 personer över hela Norden prenumererar på Nordiska nätverket för narrativ medicins nyhetsbrev.

Öresundskraft AB has a number of plants that produces mainly electricity and district heat to the city of Helsingborg and its surroundings. Västhamnsverket is the main plant of the company, with an installed capacity of 126 MW electricity and 186 MW heat. Västhamnsverket is a hybrid combined heat and power plant. In order to demonstrate an efficient control-monitoring model, several ANN models ha
The aim of this report is to present conclusions about factors of great importance for the evacuation efficiency from underground spaces such as road or train tunnels. Quantified information about the duration of different stages in the evacuation process is presented as well as conclusions about means to fasten the evacuation process. Of special interest from a risk management perspective is the
This master’s thesis explores the sustainability and the circularity of industrial packaging of components for complex electronic products. The research aims to gain insight into the structure of the packaging system between the suppliers and the manufacturers (EMS) and evaluate its circularity to identify the opportunities and challenges for future improvement. The study examines the packaging

Gestures are used in a pragmatic way in interactive contexts such as conversation. Agreement between interlocutors is an ordinary aspect of talk-in-interaction, which is expressed through various types of utterances and gestures. The interlocutors’ status, such as gender and familiarity, may affect both their verbal and non-verbal behavior as previous research has shown. This study investigates th
The present work reports on the development of a bi-enzyme biosensor using diaphorase from Bacillus stearothermophilus, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+))- and glutathione (GSH)-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FDH) from the genetically-engineered methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha as bio-recognition elements. The sensor architecture comprises a first layer containing diaphoras
Clay minerals cannot only give information on sedimentary depositional environment but also the climate regime under which sediment was weathered. The successions of non-marine to marine Middle and Late Jurassic strata of the East European Platform show upwards increasing contents of smectite and decreasing contents of kaolinite. There is also an increasing smectite vs. kaolinite ratio laterally,
A series of samples of vanadia supported on monoclinic zirconia were prepared with nominal loadings from a half up to sixteen theoretical vanadia layers. The samples were characterized with X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive X-ray analysis, high-resolution electron microscopy, Raman and diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy, and were used in the oxi
Pellets are a form of biomass used in highly efficient heating systems. Thus, development of pellet markets could improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, create employment opportunities, increase energy security, and improve air quality. The present research explores the development of the domestic pellet market in Bulgaria. The research’s objectives are to investigate bar
The Troubles in Northern Ireland have played a prominent part in modern European history. Despite the success of the Peace Process in the 1990s and subsequent stabilisation of the conflict through the introduction of power-sharing and paramilitary decommissioning of weapons, tensions still dominate the province. This thesis uses the Copenhagen School of Security Studies to investigate processes of
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques were used to study the kinetics of gas-phase reactions of three lactones, γ-valerolactone (GVL), 2(5H)-furanone (2(5HF) and 3-methyl-2(5H)-furanone (3M2(5H)F) with Cl atoms, OH radicals and O3 respectively. The experiments were performed in a photochemical reactor at a total pressure of 700 Torr at room temperature (298±2 K). Both relative rate an
BACKGROUND: Only around one-quarter of patients with cancer of the oesophagus and the gastro-oesophageal junction (GOJ) undergo surgical resection. This population-based study investigated the rates of treatment with curative intent and resection, and their association with survival.METHODS: Patients diagnosed with oesophageal and GOJ cancer between 2006 and 2015 in Sweden were identified from the
